Richard Linklater is a great director, and he has cast some great actors, but still, Fast Food Nation fails to compel or leave any sort of impact. At the films end, I left the theater feeling no more enlightened, no more informed, and no more interested in the topics discussed throughout the movie. Patricia Arquette, Ethan Hawke, Avril Lavigne, Bruce Willis, and others all pop up for a brief scene or two, yet for the most part, they fail to leave any lasting impression. The film seems to pride itself on continually throwing in more and more familiar faces, yet these actors prove to be more of a distraction than anything else. He is not again seen until the ending credits. For example, towards the end of the film, I began to realize that Greg Kinnear had completely disappeared from the movie without a trace. The film jumps around between a few different, barely interconnected stories, yet none of these segments are explored enough to draw the audience in. Of all the films I saw, this one was the most disappointing, and the most shockingly mediocre. I had the chance to see this film at this year's Cannes Film Festival.
